When acne, congestion, or uneven texture leave your skin looking worn out, it’s more than appearance, it changes how you feel in your skin. Many turn to scrubs or harsh exfoliants, only to find irritation and little lasting change.
At The Acne Clinic in Katong, we believe renewal should be gentle, not aggressive. That’s why we offer medical-grade chemical peels, customised to your skin’s tolerance and needs, to help clear clogged pores, soften texture, and encourage smoother, more even skin over time.
What is a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a treatment that uses carefully selected solutions to exfoliate the top layer of skin. This encourages cell turnover and clears away dead skin cells, oil, and debris that can clog pores. At The Acne Clinic, every peel is customised to your skin’s needs and concerns.
Peels may be most helpful for:
Acne-prone skin with trapped oil or congestion
Uneven texture or rough patches
Post-acne marks and mild pigmentation
Dull or lacklustre skin tone
Because each peel is chosen to match your skin, we aim for balance, not overcorrection.
Why Choose Chemical Peels for Acne-Prone Skin
While home exfoliants may strip or irritate the skin, chemical peels are designed to work deeper, without harsh scrubbing. Under medical guidance, they can:
Gently unclog pores and reduce surface congestion
Soften uneven texture over time
Support skin renewal and help brighten dull tone
Many patients say their skin feels smoother, clearer, and more comfortable post-treatment, not just on the outside, but in how they carry themselves.
What to Expect at The Acne Clinic
Your journey begins with a consultation to understand your skin and its triggers. During treatment, a gentle solution is applied to the skin for a short period before being carefully neutralised. You may feel mild tingling, which fades quickly.
Afterwards, some light peeling or flaking is normal as your skin renews itself. Most patients find recovery simple, with results becoming more noticeable over the following days.
Chemical peels are often part of a broader plan, combined with:
Multifrax Laser
to smooth scars and texture
MesoJet Therapy
to hydrate and calm skin
Rejuran or skin boosters
for deeper repair
Topical or oral medications
when active acne is present
If You’re Ready to Refresh Your Skin
